It's started Chip Ellis

[BOO BOO]

.400 light in the final

 

[z28]

as expected

 

[twostep]

He and Matt Smith cranked their respective throttles wide open at the exact same time once the stage bulb lit so Chip was prepared. Why he just sat there, who knows. I've never frozen up like that but I've never been in a final at an NHRA nationel event either. Who knows.

 

[Von Halen]

Yeah, he froze up.

 

[PJ]

He was there as a blocker and did the job he was paid to do. If we're gonna dive, just be honest and stay in the pits

 

[Butch]

Or try a crazy tuneup and test it out

Or try a crazy tuneup and test it out

Then what if it accidentally works and you beat the boss by half a tenth...

 

[Just Paul]

Hey, .400 was perfect at one time!

 

[sammi]

I think MSR found something very useful for Angie's bike on that run.

 

[Jeff]

Like PJ said, he was hired as a blocker. He did a great job and he probably should get a bonus!
Not sure why anyone is surprised...

 

[Mustang]

I think MSR found something very useful for Angie's bike on that run.

Matt said Angie will be using that bike in Charlotte and Chip will ride Angie's bike to see if he can sort it out.

 

[mick]

the PSB championship money must be so large that it's worth it for a 2 bike team to hire a blocker in order to win it.
PS leases power to others for class parity ....... hmmmm, only in names are classes similar

 

[twostep]

Yeah, he froze up.

OK, I wasn't aware of the blocker angle. Gotcha.

I'm Actually surprised Billy Torrence hasn't stepped in......yet....

Sneak a peek at the Dallas entry list when you have a moment...

 

[mgty3whlr]

Thanx Mike, he's been laying low this seson.

 

[Ramjet]

Then what if it accidentally works and you beat the boss by half a tenth...

It did work and It was a Win - Win for Matt. He won the race and found the Tune up he wanted for the next race for all three bikes. Slam Dunk!

 

[Jer]

I'm Actually surprised Billy Torrence hasn't stepped in......yet....

Think he sold his operation

 

[mgty3whlr]

Think he sold his operation

Really, Well he must be sitting on something then because the Texas race is righ around the corner. Maybe, he's gonna run Steve's backup car.

Isn't Tripp Tatum's car still out there? That's a Capco built and tuned car and was considered to be team car a year or two ago. Haven't seen it out there in a while.
